Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. If it isn't then no worries. If it is sarcasm then come off your high horse, mate.- 34 replies

10 Myths about Afghanistan article
Aragorn2002 replied to SchnelleMeyer's topic in Combat Mission Afghanistan
One of the main reasons why the NATO-intervention in Afhanistan hasn't proved succesful, is the Afghan habbit of corruption. We could have sent twice as many troops and twice as much money and it still would have failed. A waste of good men and resources.- 34 replies

Is there a Taliban mod available?
Aragorn2002 replied to Aragorn2002's topic in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips
Hold on, guys. I just found out that in the Heart of Darkness campaign there's a Taliban mod included! I'll be back... Edit: yes, it works beautifully. Great mod. Thank you, dragonwynn! -

Aragorn2002 replied to Aragorn2002's topic in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips
I haven't and I must confess I don't know where to begin either. But I will look into it, Erwin. Thanks for the suggestion. If you have a more detailed one, please don't hesitate. π -

Thanks MikeyD. I will take a look. Edit: I've tried moving the Mujahideen mod from CM Afghanistan to CMSF, but it doesn't work unfortunately. -

Can't remember, but I was (and still am) very pleased with it. But I agree, a small contribution. Small but effective. Our soldiers hated to leave there, but who understands politics... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Force_Urozgan -
Gauging Combat Mission Interest
Aragorn2002 replied to Bil Hardenberger's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Sure hope so. A lot of wargamers overhere, but strangely enough not that many of them know CM. I keep telling them it's the only wargame that really matters, but to no avail. And young people only want shooters. If only they knew about the dutch campaign for CMSF. That would attract quite a few of them. -
We'll moan from time to time, but we will never abandon BF. Happy Thanksgiving!

Steve, could you consider brightening up my Christmas with a decent bone about the CMRT module, including screenshots and such? I made my peace with the fact that it's not going to happen soon, but for us Ostfronters it would be a nice gesture.

What about the Netherlands, Bil? Quite a few dutchmen around here. -
Is the 8.8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 included in CMRT? And if so where?

Combat Mission Red Thunder Tanks and Vehicles Showcase
Aragorn2002 replied to tpr's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
I also agree with that. I make my own scenarios and although they are not balanced or suited for sharing they give me lots of gaming joy. You don't need hundreds of hours to make a decent and interesting scenario. In fact my own scenarios are the only scenarios I'm playing nowadays. Apart from that it's also great fun to adjust other people's scenarios. A couple more tanks or a platoon more makes all the difference sometimes. Once you discover the world of the editor you don't care about the lack of new campaigns or scenarios anymore. You just want more toys to play with like vehicles, troops, buildings, landscape etc. but you can bake your own bread and make it exactly as you like it. -
Combat Mission Red Thunder Tanks and Vehicles Showcase
Aragorn2002 replied to tpr's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Well said. -
I would like to see some winter landscape, German/Hungarian buildings, Volksgrenadiers, Waffen SS and LL-vehicles if possible. And perhaps some of those 'crazy' vehicles Steve talked about some time ago (251/22, 234/4 etc.).

Impressive. Makes you realize how much work is involved in these games. -
BFC - Time to Rethink the 'Roadmap'?
Aragorn2002 replied to Sublime's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
The Finns. Winter War to the battle of Ilomantsi. Man, I would love to see the Finns appear in CM. 'Cut them down, Kaleva!'. 'Shoot for their nuts!' -
German raiders invaded Britain (briefly) in 1943?
Aragorn2002 replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
It's not impossible, nor very difficult. No one can protect such a vast length of coastline and German special forces were far more active during ww2 than commonly known. But the full truth about ww2? Not in our lifetime if ever. Some time ago I've read that Marika RΓΆkk, the famous Hungarian singer/dancer/actress during ww2, worked for the Soviets. I mean, who can you trust nowadays? π -
Until we get Stalingrad digitally!
Aragorn2002 replied to John Kettler's topic in CM Red Thunder Maps and Mods
Thanks for sharing, John. I love it. -
I agree. There will always be bugs. The example Steve gave shows how difficult it is to iron them all out. It's sheer impossible. For that we have patches. People who don't accept that, should realize how complicated games such as CM have become. As long as they aren't gamebreakers I gladly accept bugs in a just released game.

BFC - Time to Rethink the 'Roadmap'?
Aragorn2002 replied to Sublime's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
1. Eastern Front 1942-1944 (Stalingrad-Charkow-Kursk-Cherkassy) 2. Tunesia/ North Africa (Kasserine-Tobruk-El Alamein) 3 Fulda Gap (including dutch army) In that order please. π But at the moment I can think of little else than the CMRT module.
